Humu Trigger

Rhinecanthus aculeatus

Not Reef Safe

The Humu Trigger, also known as the Picasso Triggerfish, is a visually striking fish recognized by its bold pattern of blue, yellow, and black markings, resembling an abstract painting. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, this triggerfish is known for its robust and curious nature. It is a highly territorial species that can exhibit aggressive behavior, particularly towards smaller or more passive tank mates. The Humu Trigger's diet in the wild includes a variety of invertebrates, which means it can pose a threat to reef inhabitants such as shrimp, crabs, and corals in a home aquarium. This makes the Humu Triggerfish more suitable for a fish-only tank or a predator tank setup where its vibrant personality and stunning appearance can be appreciated without risk to delicate reef organisms.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
